Oh wow, the slower, high quality release won this time. Maybe with the increase in bad quality, you guys are finally not liking it as much?
This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. It's the age of question of speed vs. quality. I believe most of the past times we've done similar polls it was speed that won. You guys just want the content
